@tomTom Casavant i think we're dealing with the same 'rich guy mechanics' as the return to office bullshit.

big money has dumped shipping containers full of cash into AI, and they are desperately bending over backwards to make that investment 'somehow worth it' so that they can profit - so they have to mash that shit in everywhere they can, even if it doesnt fit, so that they can 'justify the investment'.

its like the blockchain craze, but worse, because "it looks like it works"
